00:00Who are you excited to see here at the iHeartRadio Music Awards tonight?
00:03Gaga.
00:05Gaga.
00:06Gaga.
00:07Gaga.
00:08Absolutely.
00:09She is my queen in everything growing up to me.
00:10She was everything as a queer kid.
00:11She shaped me to be who I am so I cannot wait to see her.
00:14What are you thinking?
00:15What are your thoughts so far?
00:17I love it.
00:18I really, really, really love that.
00:20So I'm a fan of everything that she releases but like the true pop gaga is where like I became
00:25a fan as a kid.
00:26So having her return a little bit to that genre has been very nostalgic for me.
00:30It's very special.
00:31I'm really enjoying it so far.
00:33My whole FYP has been...
00:35people making videos to and responding to How Bad Do You Want Me?
00:39What's your take on that song?
00:40Wait.
00:41I haven't seen this track.
00:42Oh.
00:43Just because people are saying it's very pop.
00:45For gaga.
00:46Some people are saying it feels Taylor Swift-esque for a gaga song so I would like...
00:50You haven't seen the people talking about...
00:52I haven't seen...
00:53No.
00:54I have not seen that trend.
00:55I apologize.
00:56Oh no.
00:57That's okay.
00:55But just what's your thoughts on that song given that you love pop gaga?
00:58Yeah.
00:59I think that it's...
01:00incredible that she's made a return to it.
01:01Like I said, that is like the genre that I grew up on.
01:03I mean, Born This Way, Poker Face...
01:05Like I still sing those songs at the top of my lungs whenever they come on the radio.
01:08Paparazzi as well.
01:09Like she is...
01:10It's just everything to me.
01:11So I'm excited.
01:12I really love...
01:13I love Garden of Eden.
01:14Probably is my favorite.
01:15I love Garden of Eden on the entire album.
01:16I really like Blade of Grass as well and then Abracadabra.
01:18I know it's cliche because it's a single but...
01:20it's really great.
01:21So many big artists are going on tour this year.
01:24Who are you...
01:25What are you excited to see on tour in 2025?
01:26Oh!
01:27Um...
01:28I really...
01:30I really want to get to the Lifetime tour.
01:32Oh!
01:33Katie.
01:34Again, pop icon to me.
01:35Teenage Dream I think is probably the best album ever made on Popular Opinion.
01:39Well, maybe not on Popular Opinion.
01:40I think...
01:41No, that's a Popular Opinion.
01:42I...
01:43Well, when Apple Music did their recap...
01:45it was nowhere to be found.
01:46And I thought that was...
01:47A tragedy.
01:48For sure.
01:49I think...
01:50Katie Dream number one album of all time ever made.
01:52So, I'm excited for her...
01:53For Katie to also get back to her pop...
01:55Pop era.
01:56So, I'm excited for the Lifetime tour.
01:57That's amazing.
01:58And last summer we had a very pop...
02:00Brat Summer.
02:01Yeah.
02:02We were calling it Brat Summer.
02:03But what are the vibes we're manifesting for this summer?
02:05What?
02:06What?
02:07Is it Mayhem Summer?
02:09I don't know.
02:10I don't know what type of summer it's gonna be.
02:12I hope it's gonna be...
02:13Um...
02:14Spray Tan Summer.
02:15Hot Summer.
02:16You know, wearing your SPF Summer.
02:18Um...
02:20Girl...
02:21Amazing.
02:22I love it.
